"From the blog: http://bit.ly/startuptees

This started as an idea to save money on laundry. We've visited the offices of Dropbox, Twilio, PB Works; even new startup Piazza, and we always accepted free t-shirts because it means more to wear and less to wash. Our ambitious goal: Sell 25 startup tee shirts for $25 each from 25 of our favorite startups. "

I can't tell if you're selling a T-shirt for $25 or 25 T-shirts for $25.

The key word is "each", meaning $25 per tshirt.

Reminds me of (the now defunct) Startup Schwag (http://www.startupschwag.com/). I'm a sucker for stickers and tshirts with a cool company logo so it sounds awesome.

I would take a look at what Startup Schwag was doing - if I recall you got a 'goodie bag' each month that had a shirt and some stickers, buttons, pens, etc.

hmm, are there no copyright issues involved with using another company's logo (I suppose I'm assuming a trademark was filed)?

I think the idea is to work with the companies involved, they get some money from selling the shirts and the startups get brand exposure.

Exactly. This is our version of "Obama O's" (AirBNB); we really did get the idea form wearing startup tee shirts to save money on laundry.
